Soga, A. (Kanagawa-ken. Agricultural Research Inst., Hiratsuka (Japan)) | Yoshida, M. | Watanabe, S. | Manago, M.

For the storage of small wax gourd (Benincasa hisoida), changes in the quality under various temperature conditions and low temperature limit in storage were investigated. In 5 months storage, under constant temperature below 12 deg C, the fruits showed chilling injury symptoms of surface pitting, and the ascorbic acid and sugar content decreased remarkably. To prevent chilling injury, small wax gourd should be stored under the temperature on or higher than 12 deg C.
